Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bread slices
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 cup Cashews
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Thinly slice the onion and sauté until caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

Grate the carrot and keep it ready for assembly.

Step 4

Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of water. Blend until smooth to make the cashew spread. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary for a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Spread butter or margarine on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, spread the prepared cashew mixture evenly.

Step 6

Layer the caramelized onions and grated carrots over the cashew spread on two slices of bread.

Step 7

Top each with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

Step 8

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast the sandwiches on each side until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove from the skillet, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve warm.
